Seems that everyone wants to be a TD these days.
First Conan, now Hillary Clinton on the Colbert Report last night.
;)

As a TD you have to smile that they'd get a presidential candidate to say,
"Are you feeding video with the router or the Aux buss?"

Sounds from your various posts that you are quite the TD. I mostly TD myself now (Colbert is my "regular" gig). I think people saw what a shaky engineer I was and decided it was safer to have me switch! Do you do mostly sports? Do you travel a lot? If you would rather email me privately it is pretnar@optonline.net

I was the TD on that show. The producers wanted to use the NEP bars because they thought it looked more "techie" (don't know if I spelled that right) -Jon

[quote="Lou Delgresiano"]why not use generic non-logo'd switcher test pattern.[/quote] Because NEP wanted everybody to know that the technical problem affecting an extremely popular show happened in one of their trucks. I mean, you want everybody to know who you are when you screw up, right? Of course the real joke is that the TD who managed to create a nifty DVE effect for when the screen "died" needed the talent to show him how to make it work again.

[quote="sahonen"]Nice ad for NEP there, though I'm pretty sure that this is the first time that bars have ever made the air intentionally.[/quote] They have a Kalypso, why not use generic non-logo'd switcher test pattern. Unless it was from a router :)
